Descale
Pipe scaling is a term that refers to the buildup of corrosion and rust from inner linings of the pipes. Allowing the scaling to build up will decrease the amount of water that can flow through your pipes. Descaling can also remove root intrusions that have grown inside the pipes.
Cast iron pies tend to have more severe scaling. When a pipe develops a thick, uneven layer of mineral and rust deposits, it begins to snag any solids and grime that flow past the rough sections. Eventually, the pipe becomes clogged or blocked.
If your cast iron pipes clog due to scale build up, our experts provide pipe descaling services to prolong the lifespan of your pipes. Pipe descaling utilizes a specialized machine with a high-speed rotating cable with attached descaling chain links to break down and scrape away any build up inside your pipes.
The rust-debris falls to the bottom of the pipe, then we perform hydrojetting to flush out the loose scales, and video inspect to ensure quality work.
The cleaning can disintegrate the interior build-up and restore full use of your pipe if it is in good condition. Descaling your cast iron sewer pipe can also come in handy before pipe relining to clean out the pipe and remove any debris before relining installation.
